August 8th - My Custom Built PC

Image
 So I am building a PC. This specific idea popped into my head sometime last year. I finally got around to doing it after spotting a good deal on eBay for a CPU and motherboard combo (Ryzen 9 3950x and Aorus Master x570 Board). I've slowly put together the components and finally started assembling this build around a matte black, chrome, and modern white color palette. I'll probably post again after this is all finished, with a nice video detailing my work, but until then, here are a few images of it in its current state.

May 25th - The Frog

Image
It is a hot Monday, a boiling start to my summer break. We are fresh off of a double sleepover with some of my close friends, and are full swing in packing our house. We move next Sunday. Anyway, my younger brother and I needed a break, so we headed outside. After realizing just how sweltering it was, we decided to wash the car, and maybe get wet in the process. We were just turning on the hose, when a flash of green stamped my eye. A second look and it was a frog! Naturally, we asked our parents if we could keep it, and naturally they said no. We didn't just want the frog to dry up under the baking sun, so we filled a box with water and gave him a cool place to stay while we decided what to do. We ended up thinking of the local pond that was located at the front of our neighbor hood. We went for a quick walk, I jumped the fence, and we released our new friend, christened "Froggy" by my little brother. Video of me releasing Froggy

August 20th - Sound Sensor Unit Part 2

Image
 Relays, Relays, Relays! Other than that not much. Did some light soldering work, changed the board from a uno to a nano, and added the relay. Just routing the power out via a female plug connector I "borrowed" from an extension cord. So now my uncle can utilize anything that can be connected to a standard AC wall outlet. Plus, the relay is rated for 40 Amps, so there isn't much that can't be powered I just am going to make a few functionality changes, so that if the sound ever goes over a certain point you would have to press a button to deactivate whatever device that has been connected. Not that hard, I can already imagine the code. Anyway speaking of the code, here's the script for this project. I didn't have time to draw a schematic, but I think it is very self explanatory. int soundSensor = 2; int relayPin = 3; void setup() {   pinMode(soundSensor, INPUT);   Serial.begin(9600);   pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT); } void loop() {   int SensorData = digitalRead(s...
